Tomorrow my little brother heads off to his freshman year of college. I still can’t believe it. For the past few weeks I’ve been trying to give him my best college advice; things I wish I had known before starting my freshman year. Because as much as you think you know what college is going to be like, you’ll face more surprises than expected. So I thought I’d share some of my words of wisdom (common sense) with you!

Now more than ever we are constantly surrounded by negativity. School work, friend drama, social media, and so on, are endless influencers on stress and negativity and are nearly impossible to escape. I think we often don't even realize when we are being negative or grumpy because we've just become so numb to the feeling.
